It fits the 254, 2600, 2700, and 8050 models. The cell matches the original voltage and physical footprint, so it drops into the handset battery compartment without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e254 \/ 2600 \/ 2700 \/ 8050 handset compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These four models share the same 3.6V single-cell Ni-MH pack format, connector pitch, and battery bay dimensions — 30.30 × 42.60 × 14.30mm. One battery SKU covers all four handsets because the BMS handshake and charge acceptance profile are identical across the range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack on a cordless phone charge dock and confirmed the base station moved from charge-active LED to trickle within expected timeframes. The BMS accepted charge without triggering an error light at any point during testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-charge protocol for Ni-MH cordless packs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    After installing, seat the handset in the base and leave it there for a full 16 hours before first use. Ni-MH cells shipped in partial-charge storage state need a slow initial charge to reach rated capacity — skipping this step is the leading cause of short talk time complaints on new replacement batteries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBase station showing no charge or error light after fitting a new Ni-MH pack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eUniden bases use a voltage-sensing handshake to begin the charge cycle. A new Ni-MH cell arrives from storage at a depressed resting voltage — sometimes below the threshold the base needs to confirm a valid battery is present. When that happens, the charge LED stays off or flashes an error instead of going solid. The fix is to leave the handset seated in the base undisturbed for 30–60 minutes; the trickle current will nudge the cell voltage up past the acceptance threshold and the base will switch to normal charge mode. If the error persists past 90 minutes, check that the handset is fully seated and the charging contacts are clean — a resting cell voltage below 2.4V is the usual culprit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eRange drops noticeably when the new battery is under RF load\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eDECT transmitters draw a sharp current spike during each RF burst. A Ni-MH cell that hasn't completed its first few conditioning cycles has higher internal resistance than a fully formed cell, which causes voltage to sag under that load. The handset compensates by reducing transmit power, and the result is a noticeably shorter range than the original battery delivered. This resolves after three to five full charge-and-use cycles as the cell's internal resistance drops toward its rated value. Run the handset until the low-battery indicator triggers, then return it to the base for a full charge — repeat this three times and range will stabilise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43340043190362,"sku":"BWCS-SX100CL-1","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43340043223130,"sku":"BWCS-SX100CL-2","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43340043255898,"sku":"BWCS-SX100CL-3","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SX100CL-1.webp?v=1778367047","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/uniden-254-replacement-battery-36v-600mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
